Got my "official" Mogwai ticket in the mail today, too bad the show isn't till October... And just for the record, I paid around 29 euro for mine, with them playing at Live Music Hall in Cologne. Little over 50$ with the exchange rate right now, and compared with some of the shows I've been to, I still consider that cheap

I was considering seeing them here in November, but with their new album not quite doing it for me and tickets being $80, I decided against it... Got tickets to Meredith, hoping to catch Holy Fuck both there and at their side show, but we shall see. Oh, Augie March are playing here again soon too. Friggen sweet. I should really get tickets for that soon.

I am hopeful for a nostalgia tour + the few good pop songs off ...Earth To The Dandy Warhols...

The Dandy Warhols were fan-fucking-tastic. Also The Upsidedown was pretty good.

My Bloody Valentine on Monday!

Against Me!, Ted Leo & The Pharmacists, and Future of the Left (two thirds of mclusky and another dude) on October 11thGirl Talk in NovemberPossibly My Morning Jacket on New Year's Eve if a bunch of things work in my favor and I end up not having a prior engagement.

@BallardMy Morning Jacket on New Year's Eve? Serious win! Where are they playing?

Unfortunately, at Madison Square Garden. Which means that tickets will be expensive out the ass and I will still be a mile away (I've had $250 a piece floor seats for other shows at Madison Square Garden and felt like I was in the nosebleed section).

Oh man, Stars put on a killer live show, guys. They were hugely energetic and played a great set. They also seemed genuinely and incredibly grateful to see how excited the audience was to see them. They seemed to put all they had into the set which is always very nice to see. I was tempted to go see them in NYC the next night but $30 tickets dissuaded me.

That makes me feel even worse about missing ACL (Stars, Vampire Weekend, Gogol Bordello, Hot Chip, and MGMT/Spiritualized were a few of many very exciting ideas to me), but at least I am still going to see Okkervil River and Man Man at their aftershow!

I would just like to say that there is no better feeling than that of the cold metal of the press barrier on your wrists at a My Bloody Valentine reunion show in a venue that legally holds 3500 and probably held more.

Front row, dead center, motherfuckers. I was maybe 4 meters away from Kevin Shields and, at some point earlier, J Mascis, who jammed with one of the opening acts.

Needless to say my week life is made and I am still experiencing the aftershocks of musical orgasm.

Torche was probably the most ROCK thing ever. The guys were rocking out so hard, seriously. And when they brought the bomb guitars, it was so heavy I thought the universe was gonna collapse.

This.

I was expcting a fun show, but whoa, their sound was just immense.

I must admit though, Pelican was a little disappointing. They played a lot of their new boring post-rocky stuff. Don't get me wrong, they still gave a good heavy performance, but the setlist could have been much better. That said, they saved their asses with the encore, finally playing something from the s/t.

i just found out that i might be seeing Why? on friday for something like $11.

hopefully that happens because that would be cool as hell.

Also I would like to point out that the combination of Sailor Moon and faux-Kerouac / Sonic Youth spelling is perhaps the purest distillation of what this forum is that we have yet been presented with.

TSO is going to be in Denver December 3rd and 4th, I am going to try to make that show, I really need to get a job.

DO IT. They put on a hell of a show.

cheapest tickets are $40, I can afford it as long as nothing unexpected comes up, though I'm not sure who I will go with. All of the times in the past I have tried to go to big shows, though, something has gone wrong. Hopefully this one goes better.

Saw MBV last night in San Francisco. It was awesome. ROCKING. Fucking great and terrific and awesome. I risked (what is left of ) my fairly crappy 35 year old punk rock hearing (refused to wear earplugs) WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE 15-20 MIN ROCK TUMBLING MANIA and feel great today. They were so amazing. I saw them in 92 with Dinosaur jr in St. Petersburg, FL and that show pretty much changed my life. Last night didn't change my life...but it definitely made me happier than I thought possible sweating, cramped in with thousands of other people without having a particularly good view of the stage. Spectrum opening up was such as treat as I didn't know until the day before. I have seen him (them) and Spiritualized before...but seeing them within a short proximity of time near each other was ALMOST like seeing Spacemen 3! Right?

And tripping balls while Spiritualized was playing at the Treasure Island Music Festival (sun, wind, choir, perfect versions of some of my favorite songs) was just about one of the best things of my life ever. Now if only Moose, Ride, and the Pale Saints would all get together and play.

Man I am so excited for next weekend. Fleet Foxes on Friday. Broken Social Scene on Saturday.Week after that is Deerhoof and then Hercules and Love Affair at the same fucking venue on the the same fucking day. FUCK.

The Fest in Gainesville, this halloween. i can hardly believe it's less than a month away now! it'll be my first visit to the USA, and i'll get to see a shitload of bands, some i've been a fan of for years, some i've only recently discovered, and i'll hopefully discover a few more there!

AAHH FUCK YOOOUU

From what I can tell, that shit is going to be off the hook. I am totally jealous. I would love to see The Ergs! again with a better crowd.
